Connecting to FortiPortal

After launching the FortiPortal instance, go to EC2 > Instances and verify that the instance is running. Take note of the instance's Public IPv4 address or Public IPv4 DNS.

To connect to the FortiPortal GUI

1. In a web browser, navigate to the public address of the instance using HTTPS.

   Your web browser may display a security warning related to the certificate not being trusted. This warning is normal and is due to the certificate being self-signed, rather than being signed by a valid certificate authority. Verify and accept the certificate, either permanently or temporarily, and proceed.

2. On the login page, enter spuser for Username or email, enter test12345 for Password, and then click Login.

3. Upload the license file you downloaded previously. Select your valid license file and click Upload. The license is validated and the Dashboard loads.

   After registering a license, Fortinet servers can take up to 30 minutes to fully recognize the new license. When you upload the license file to activate FortiPortal, if you get an error that the license is invalid wait 30 minutes and try again.

4. Change the spuser password. After the first login, you are required to change the password.
